I titled this painting "hommage to Rupprecht Geiger" - below you'll see the painting and then snapshots I took at the Rupprecht-Geiger-Archiv Munich. Look at them and you'll know .-)

a while ago I went to the Archiv Geiger in Munich-Solln and was very surprised about this little museum - it is stunning. Here are some snapshots I took during the guided tour. maybe you'll see the inspiration that led to my painting "hommage"... I was just fascinated by these colors!

...as Okwui Enwezor, director of the Haus der Kunst Munich, was the curator of this year's Art Biennale in Venice I had to go there - one short trip in summer, I had the opportunity to visit some of the pavillons at the Giardini (but unfortunately I couldn't visit the Arsenale out of lack of time) and some of the exhibits which are shown all over the city - some of my favorites: the Russian Pavillon, the Japanese Pavillon, the USA- and the Uruguay-Pavillons (all at the Guardini) ... and in the city: the Azerbaijan Pavillon ("Beyond the line" at Palazzo Lezze) and the venue at the Palazzo Fortuny (which is breathtaking!) ....

the Art Biennale runs until 22nd of November 2015 - go there, besides the art Venice is always worth a trip .-)
